Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

It is acceptable to replace both front brakes without necessarily replacing the rear brakes, as front and rear brakes wear at different rates due to the front brakes handling a higher percentage of the braking load. However, replacing brakes on only one side of an axle could lead to uneven braking and potentially dangerous driving conditions, making Technician B's statement incorrect.
